Jackie Bornstein Quartet

Celebrate with your Valentine (or just a bottle of wine) listening to the richly toned vocals of Jackie Bornstein. Featuring Tim Willis (guitar), Philip Rex (bass) and Hugh Harvey (drums), Jackie will perform tunes taking you to the cool jazz of the 1950s, jazz manouche of Paris, and bossa of Brazil (or possibly just to a chilled bar on High St Northcote). Tickets available online or at the door - $10 entry
